You have to be notified within 7 days of the offence if I remember correctly ?

 

[GrandeGuy]

14 days, normally know by the second week . . .

 

[Liquid Knight]

Fixed penalty notices are issued within two weeks, notice of intended prosecution can take up to six months and a day.

 

[Ziggy122]

Well the 14days thing wont count unless they dont send it to my mrs within 14days

As itll obvs go to her first who then nominates me

The wording is it has to be 'issued' within 14 days (not sure if thats working days or not).

Then depends on speed of postal system.

If it was a standard Gatso camera, sometimes they have the radar and flash working, but the camera could be elsewhere. Good luck with that.

I think the letter requesting driver's name has to go out within 14 days, so a bit of a waiting game.

From around 2003 or so....

...but it seems to be doing the rounds on FB at the mo.

:yeahthat: My bad. This popped its head up on my facebook the other day, and then saw it via a few friends. I read the article and assumed it was recent but a quick look on google shows a small flurry of activity around early 2003.

It is true, passed a unmarked one on the way to work (either this morning or yesterday, can't remember lol) and had some police bikes nearby to pull suspect vehicles over.

Has to have speed camera sign on the rear along with high-vis if doing speed I believe.
